It’s nearly Valentine’s Day and by now you should have sorted out what to get your loved ones (if not, check out our V-day gift guide for him and her). But, if you’re still on the look out for flowers, consider supporting these eco-friendly florists in Hong Kong.
Not only will you bring a smile to your significant other, but you’ll also be making Mother Earth happier. From florists that use seasonal blooms and eco-friendly packaging to zero-waste alternatives such as veggie bouquets, here are our top picks.
Ellermann
Known for their gorgeous and colourful floral bouquets, Ellermann’s seasonal and custom arrangements are plastic-free and always have the option of coming in a variety of reusable vases.

Blooms & Blossoms

Floristics Co.
For every bouquet they sell, Floristics Co. plants a tree that removes over 308kg of CO2 from the atmospher, which is equivalent to offsetting the average carbon requirements for over 100 flower bouquets. They also use recyclable packaging that’s environmentally friendly, and only sell a small collection of bouquets each month to minimise waste.
